925 [187] HeidiAngel Members 474 posts 2,632 battles Report post #1 Posted May 20, 2020 My Dad saw a post about how a player had a bad ranked game and two newer players played very badly and his team got rolled over. He told me about it so I am here to ask a simple question. I understand his frustration but I was not in the game so I am asking should I be banned from playing ranked because HE had a bad game? This will be my first ranked season and I would like the experienced in this forum give me an honest opinion. Do you agree that I should not be able to play ranked? Am posting some numbers of mine so all can see and make up their own minds. 5 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

570 [REKTD] SuperComm4 Members 1,085 posts 13,675 battles Report post #3 Posted May 20, 2020 This will be a never ending debate, and you will see similar debates in all aspects of society. Everyone thinks they are right, or “entitled” to something they “have earned”. In that post you reference, we see a clear example of why we should never attempt to create policy when in the midst of an emotional reaction. Inevitably we will come up with something that somehow “punishes” someone not guilty of whatever act sparked our emotional outburst. I believe that OP likely sees the error of their knee-jerk post. I don’t think we can ban you, or anyone else based on # of battles / win rates / battles at tier X etc. The only skill-based MM model plausible would be one that has a multiple (equal) number of certain level players on both sides. The fatal issue with that is there are too many variables in a game like WoWS. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you care enough to try and improve, you're already lightyears ahead of most. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
239 [ISLA] DeadIyArT Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 735 posts 14,392 battles Report post #5 Posted May 20, 2020 My feeling on rank it should be kept at high tiers t9-t10. Sprint should be low tiers and give better rewards then they do give right now. T7 is one of the worst balance tiers of all just like t5. so making steel reward for tier is dumb. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, you should not be banned from it for ANY reason other than breaking rules if you have the ships needed to play. Don't let toxic morons keep you from enjoying the game. It is a game and nothing more. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There will always be those that want to blame others because things didn't go the way they wanted it to - let them stew and get on with your game. All I would say is, if there are some that offer constructive device and you feel you can learn, then listen - you'll probably end up doing better in the long run than the guy who is too busy complaining and trying to ban you that he never reflects on his own play.

350 [_BDA_] michael_zahnle Members 841 posts 12,881 battles Report post #11 Posted May 20, 2020 I agree... do your own thing. This is my first go at Ranked battles and it hasn't gone well. Fire breathing dragons enjoy lighting up my Colorado and that's my only Tier 7 ship... which made for some short battles. Still, we carry on and learn from what happens and try not to blame anyone for our own mistakes, like running aground trying to avoid broadsides while in the cross hairs of three BBs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of all the game mod, Ranked is the saltiest mod of all... One way to see it... Co-op = Water with country time mixed in... Random = Ocean water Ranked = Don Juan Pound...

2,729 [O7] ITZ_ACE_BABY Members 1,525 posts 12,571 battles Report post #20 Posted May 20, 2020 there are players with 10k+ battles that are some of the worst players in the game, time does not equal skill. There will always be salty people especially in ranked that will only blame their team when they lose a game, they never seem to look at their own performances. simple rule, if you are losing games you are just not doing enough, never rely on random team mates. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,368 [WPS] enderland07 Members 4,181 posts 9,619 battles Report post #22 Posted May 20, 2020 Don't worry - a lot of people in ranked are "experts" on why the rest of their team is bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,522 [WOLFC] DocWalker Members 3,200 posts Report post #23 Posted May 20, 2020 I played my first Ranked back in Season 2 ... we were ALL new back then! But seriously, I think you are doing better now than I did back then. Just asking the question proves you have more maturity than a lot of "self important" players you'll come across. Do your thing and have fun ... only you can decide if you feel like going for Rank 1 or you've reached your max level for enjoyment. Don't let anyone else try to influence your decision. People tend to forget that first and foremost this is a game ... and games are played for fun. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
